The New York Jets enter Week 10 with a 2-7 record after dropping a 35-12 game against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to reporting from “Yahoo Sports”.
New York is set to host the Buffalo Bills at MetLife Stadium in an important AFC East divisional matchup this Sunday.
Offensively, the Jets rely on quarterback Geno Smith, who operates primarily as a pocket passer and escapes the pocket on just over 10 percent of his dropbacks, “per Fantasy Points Data and additional network coverage”.
The unit features five former first-round draft picks at marquee positions, including offensive tackles Olu Fashanu and Armand Membo.
Receivers Garrett Wilson and Omar Cooper Jr. also carry first-round pedigree, alongside rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq.
Despite missing the previous contest, Wilson ranks seventh in Average Separation Score among qualifying receivers who have run at least 99 routes, “according to Fantasy Points Data”.
Cooper has also emerged with strong metrics, ranking inside the top 10 in yards per route run at 2.73, “the network reported”.
The Jets offense operates with minimal window dressing, utilizing the league’s sixth-lowest motion rate at 56 percent, “the outlets stated”.
Defensively, Aaron Glenn’s club ranks fourth in the NFL with a blitz rate of 41.2 percent, “Fantasy Points Data revealed”.
The defense heavily features base packages and plays man coverage at the league’s fourth-highest rate of 31.7 percent, “local coverage indicated”.
Rookie edge rusher David Bailey has notched 31 pressures through nine games, with 20 of those pressures occurring over the past four weeks, “Yahoo Sports noted”.
While New York’s pass defense struggles at 30th in EPA per dropback surrendered, the run defense remains stingy, ranking ninth in EPA per rush allowed, “the reports concluded”.
